As I told you, I follow sitcoms closely and this chocolate buttons sounds strange. But you have the context, so it is your call, unles you provide it for others to judge it. "Chocolate button ads" has only 1 hit on Google. chocolate button about 500

Webguru got it right. I think this is exactly what I need. Thanks.
Radovan Pletka Sep 21, 2005:
If this is sitcom, there is additional punch meanign we are all missing, therefore more context is needed.
Radovan Pletka Sep 21, 2005:
I don't feel that the translation of chocolate buttons is correct in this context. Give us more context, please.

zatracene, volovina, atd...

Two things:
1/ The word "bloody" is inserted into the phrase. Compared to English, in Czech it would sound better as an addition - utttered AFTER the phrase, not in the middle of it:
S čím ještě nepřijdou? Čokoládovými knoflíčky?!? Zatraceně…
2/ There are better and more colourful words than "bloody" to indicate the same emotions, for example:
S čím ještě nepřijdou? Čokoládovými knoflíčky?!? Je to volovina..!

Apologies for the typo error - should be 'yummy tasting'.
